• In a blender, blend the eggs until frothy, about 15 seconds.
• Add the milk, all-purpose flour, green onions, chopped fresh basil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the blender.
• Blend the mixture until just incorporated, making sure not to overmix.
• Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling each cup to just below the rim.
• Bake the popovers in the preheated oven, without opening the oven door, until they are puffed and golden, about 35 minutes.
